Magic: FNM - Draft

Magic: the Gathering

Friday Night Magic - Draft

What Happens Here?

Open to all players and running each Friday night, "FNM" is a chance to catch up with your friends, make new ones and of course, play some Magic!

What is the Format?

The format for this event is Booster Draft. Unlike constructed formats, where you arrive with a carefully constructed deck ready to play, limited formats such as a Booster Draft allow you to build a deck from new cards as part of the game.

At the start of booster draft, each player opens a booster pack and picks a single card. Then everyone passes the rest of their pack to a player who picks a card before passing again. This process continues until all the cards in those packs have been drafted.

Are There Prizes?

Yes. Prize packs will be awarded based on performance in accordance with the following:

12 points = 5 packs

10 points = 4 packs

9 points = 3 packs

6 points = 1 pack

Additionally, the top two ranked players will receive a limited edition promotional card. A third promotional card will be randomly awarded to a participating player.

How are Points Awarded?

Three points are awarded for winning a match, one point for tying a match, and zero points for losing a match.

What do I Bring?

You will need your DCI number. If you do not have a DCI number, our Wizards can assist you in obtaining one. A score pad to keep track of life totals is also necessary. Sleeves, deck boxes and counters are optional. Our Wizards will have lands cards for you to borrow during the event if needed.

What is a DCI Number?

DCI numbers are used to track performance, attendance and grant special perks to players participating in events officially sanctioned by Wizards of the Coast. Our Wizards can assist you in obtaining one or help you in locating a lost or forgotten one.

What is Magic: the Gathering?

In the Magic game, you play the role of a planeswalker, a powerful wizard who fights other planeswalkers for glory, knowledge, and conquest. Your deck of cards represents all the weapons in your arsenal. It contains the spells you know and the creatures you can summon to fight for you.

Trading card games like the Magic: The Gathering TCG combine collectible cards with a strategy game. You don't know what you'll get in a Magic booster pack. You just start a collection and trade with other players to get the cards you want.

The best part about a trading card game is that it's always changing. You design and build your own unique decks, and each Magic game you play is different. New Magic expansions are released a few times a year, and each new expansion brings new ways to stupefy and defeat your opponents.
